Why Schedule a Home Assessment?

No matter the age of your home, you should have some idea about whether it provides you with comfort as well as energy savings. Older homes may not have kept up with the times, falling behind as new appliances and household systems with greater energy efficiency were put in place. An energy audit will find where an older home needs improvements to bring it up to date.

But newer homes may need an audit as well: those special energy–efficient windows won’t do you much good if there are air leak in the attic and inferior insulation throughout the building. An energy audit takes your home as a full energy system—not only a few bits and pieces—and sees where improvements will make you more comfortable and lower those high energy bills.

What Happens During an Energy Audit

Since no two homes or families are alike, no two energy audits are alike. But you can expect a number of similar tests and inspections when the professionals arrive at your home, armed with the best in equipment to find where your home is gaining or losing heat.

The blower door test is an essential part of an audit. A blower door is a device that fits over the aperture of your home’s front door. A fan in the door lowers the air pressure throughout your house, allowing the auditors to rapidly locate places where air is allowed to flow back through leaks into the home.

Similar to the blower door test is the duct blaster test, which is designed to measure the integrity of the building’s ventilation system. Because holes in ducts can cause between a 20% and 30% increase in your heating and cooling bills, this is an area that you especially want repaired if necessary.

A thermal imaging camera test will help the auditors determine how well insulated your house is. The scanner picks up temperature differences that will pinpoint areas of energy loss in places that would otherwise escape attention.

The energy auditors will also perform a walk–through of your home to look for inefficient appliances and other places where your home isn’t living up to its energy potential. Once they have made all the major inspections, they will provide you with a full assessment of spots that need improvement, and suggestions on how to make those improvements.
